Consider how stupid Donald Trump is, then consider how stupid one would have to be to vote for him, then consider that those people are all around you, all the time.
PBS should air Star Trek 24/7 then. The TNG/DS9/VOY preferably.
😬 pretty easy to side with the Cardassians for someone like Trump…
Ok, so we take out DS9. But TNG on repeat for sure.
The monkey paw will curl, damn :(
By executive order Section 31 is formed. CIA director raises eyebrow in contempt.
Alzheimers in full bloom.
He better not be watching PBS. Not only did he not donate, like viewers like me, he is cutting their federal funding!
And yet Americans elected this man for a second term, by popular vote this time. He’s not the only genius there.
Every accusation is a projection.
2020 election denial is now a high school standard in Oklahoma btw.
As in “Trump’s been president since 2016” or as in “2020 elections were robbed in favor of candidate Biden”?
The later. Also there’s some COVID lab leak conspiracy shit.
These weren’t the standards that were presented to the public or teachers to review - they were swapped out at the last second from reasonable versions:
When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals
I don’t know, SOAD radicalized me when I was a teenager and I would say that this is bullshit from a criminological point of view.
Is he reopening Jurassic Park? 🤭
I propose a movie about dinosaurs released in San Diego.
Or the movie about “the bus that couldn’t stop”
Sundowning…
So… You take a prison which:
- Generates $60M yearly from being currently a museum;
- Needs serious rebuilding and modernization to even function at all;
- Needs a way to be supplied with safe water, plus constant deliveries of all other necessities, likely by boat.
And you get:
- A prison which generates little to no revenue, while needing funds to be kept functioning.
- Only has its name and somber history going in its favor, because “prisoners should be afraid of the historic haunted prison”.
Yes. Brilliant idea, truly a Trump deal in all its glory, as we get to see how the casino-bankrupter’s mind works. Hopefully by the time the prison is ready Trump and his cronies get to be the first “tenants”. And whoever comes next declares the prison closed again and leaves them rotting there.
But it is a typical Trump deal, selling vibes of “doing it the rough old way, with guns and hookers and lead paint and gasoline that makes your windows rainbow-colored”.
That’s what he sells. His fans know it’s not achievable, they want a mess sufficient for something better to evolve, and vibes for them signify that mess. It’s a bit like Shadow ideology in Babylon V.
Yes…?
It was literally NEVER about the money being spent by the government. Anyone who actually believed that is by dictionary definition, dumb.
I bet he plans on charging rent to the prisoners at California rates or some bullshit
Beachside property after all. Rockside.
Actually would be a cool idea, make there a combined prison-museum with luxury cells like the one Brejvik spends his time in. If it goes together with a prison reform to in general make American prisons more like Norwegian ones, would be cool.
I mean, inmates shouldn’t pay for that, I just caught a thought.
It’s more interesting after all, inmates can talk to tourists and not feel too isolated, but live in more comfortable conditions than their historical colleagues, and you still have a profitable museum.
Sort of a prison entertainment park. On an island. One can even have a small computing history museum with an IRIX machine there, next to a few dinosaur pics.
Somebody needs to just wave something shiny in front of him to distract him from this stupid idea.
Next up on truth social:
ONE OF MY SUBORDINATES JINGLED HIS KEYS IN FRONT OF ME FOR HOURS. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MUCH ENJOYMENT IN MY LIFE.
MAKE JINGLING KEYS GREAT AGAIN!
An put a tariff on movies so he doesn’t do it again! Oh, wait…
Has he been there? Like it’s fuckin old. And small. Like really small. I don’t know if he can legally do that either. Since it’s a state park.
Well yes but it has a cool sounding name
Simple solution.
Rename another prison alcatraz and tell Trump it’s up and running.
He really is a profoundly stupid man. Everyone who supports him should be ashamed of themselves.
His supporters have been so crippled by centuries of inbreeding they see him as their genius messiah, literally.
Inbreeding is more likely to produce offspring, but also more likely to produce offspring with genetic defects, and marrying someone very genetically different is less likely to produce offspring, but dangers are fewer.
I mean, provided you can’t find a neanderthal to marry today, the latter concern is not too important.
So both are not too bad, fertility is important sometimes. It’s the natural regulation of population.
BTW, about diversity and all that … it’s good, but triggers the psychological and biological mechanisms (EDIT: reducing fertility) in the parts of population smart enough to be diverse.
So nature also regulates such disturbances. Like the Force in Star Wars. Humanity works the way that if smartasses become too smart, dumbasses would have their asses so it would all cancel out to a more even distribution.
This is standard procedure for him. Something gives him an idea, he assumes that it is pure genius and he immediately runs with it without even thinking it through or at least educating himself on the subject first to see if it is actually a good idea or not.
This is him just moments before he famously suggested on a national press conference that shining UV light or injecting disinfectant into people’s bodies could be a treatment to COVID:
Been commenting about this for YEARS! Could never find that part of the video and here you have a pic!
If it was just him, it wouldn’t be that bad. Kinda like Bush Jr. The problem is that he surrounds himself with yes-men. I’m sure you’ve seen meetings with him and his orbit. He says something, stupid as hell, and his cult claps, stands, cheers and/or laughs like it’s worthy of a Nobel. It’s seriously deranged behavior. It’s a cult. Except he’s just grandpa sundowner everyone agrees with to get in his good graces, or a child spouting nonsense while the parents just go “that’s nice dear” absent-mindedly. He’s so easy to fluff.
I feel we also devalue Bush jr. for the way he chose to speak to people. I feel you could call Bush a smart man, even politically savy, while still talking like a layman. However, Trump is genuinely dumb like his speech implies, and people just roll with it.
I feel you could call Bush a smart man
No.
He was dumb but playing dumber. I can’t think of many other examples of people like that except Joe Rogan.
Yeah, that I can get behind. His Texan shtick was an obvious act. But, even without that, I don’t think he had an IQ of 100. Like most politicians he had good emotional intelligence, and an ability to connect with people. Still, it was clear that even pretty basic concepts were a stretch for him.
There was a Histioriometry test done, and the journal Political Psychology estimated around a 119 for ol’ W.
And Trump weighs 224 lbs with 4.8% body fat.
Like a spoiled 4 year old in so many ways…
Yep, I’ve been saying “he isn’t just a narcissist, he’s narcissistic in the way a 5-year-old would be”.
This is standard procedure for him. Something gives him an idea
so donvict watches public television. huh. the very same public television he wants to cut funding to…
and for entertainment purposes, not just to find ‘biased’ news reports to whine about in an overnight all-caps twitter tantrum.
He probably just didn’t know how to change the channel back to Newsmax.
He was mindlessly flicking through the channels until one seemed interesting.
I doubt his interest extends that far.
I’m sure there was another similar incident in the last few months when some “policy” came out of the blue, and someone connected it to something else that had just recently been on TV. But, finding something like that is nearly impossible. What do you search for, “crazy policy ideas, Trump, 2025” There are just mountains of BS to sift through.
He likes to free style
You see, geopolitics is like jazz…
Honestly he needs to enter into a rap battle
If nothing else the US can be number one for rap
Stop letting this man watch television.
Let him watch all the television he wants. Stop letting him interact with people and things.
Let him interact with people and things, but in a retirement home where he belongs.
THE FLETCHER MEMORIAL, HOME FOR INCURABLE TYRANTS AND KINGS
The only final solution I support.
No I’m thinking a bunker with 9 foot thick concrete walls, no door, a 1.5 inch diameter hole for air and McDonald’s french fries, a television and one of those brown blankets they wrap you in when your house burns down. And maybe if you put me in a good enough mood I wouldn’t turn a garden hose down the air shaft.
“Old man yells at cloud” isn’t the issue, “Old man can order airstrike on cloud” is.
*Nuke a hurricane
The same PBS he wants to cut ahahaha
